Reborn In a Murderer’s Embrace (Dexter) novel Chapter 358

Hailey's expression darkened for a moment, her gaze piercing through me. "Foebe, get in the car. You'll want to talk."

Seeing me unmoved, Hailey spoke again. "When I give you a chance, you better treasure it."

I guessed Hailey's visit was about Dexter. But from her current demeanor, it seemed Dexter's suicide attempt hadn't been life-threatening.

"Phoebe..." Colin tugged at my sleeve, unwilling to let me go with Hailey.

"Sir." Eric arrived, looking somewhat anxious. He whispered something into Colin's ear.

Colin's expression turned grim. He glanced at Dexter's mother and spoke softly to me, "Phoebe, there's some trouble with the Langley Group. I need to sort it out. Don't leave home, and don't go with her."

Colin had already sold the Langley Group to the All-Stars Consortium. What could possibly make him this nervous now?

I looked at Colin, wanting him to explain, because as his 'wife,' I was naturally concerned about his well-being and safety.

But it seemed Colin never considered my feelings as a 'wife.' It was as if I was something fragile, held high and protected under a glass dome, kept in the dark about everything.

Like his plot with Finn to delve into the mental hospital to investigate Damian...

He could have told me in advance. But he didn't.

"Just wait for me at home," he said in the end, as always.
